The Justice Department filed a lawsuit against the Space Exploration Technologies Corporation, alleging the Elon Musk-founded company engaged in discriminatory hiring practices targeting asylum-seekers and refugees.
The DOJ's Immigrant and Employee Rights Section filed the lawsuit on Thursday, accusing the company commonly known as SpaceX of discouraging these people from applying and refusing to hire them due to their citizenship status from at least September 2018 through May 2022. The company has been accused of wrongly claiming it was only able to hire U.S.
"Our investigation found that SpaceX failed to fairly consider or hire asylees and refugees because of their citizenship status and imposed what amounted to a ban on their hire regardless of their qualification, in violation of federal law," Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the DOJ's Civil Rights Division said.
"Our investigation also found that SpaceX recruiters and high-level officials took actions that actively discouraged asylees and refugees from seeking work opportunities at the company. Asylees and refugees have overcome many obstacles in their lives, and unlawful employment discrimination based on their citizenship status should not be one of them," Clarke added.
